HER CHILD'S FATHER.
Deputy Sheriff John Lunkenheimer
took his mysterious prisoner back to
Jordan yesterday, ostenSibly to get
bonds for him or to see if the case can
be settled by money. He says his name
is William Hickey. and that he is far
mer living about fifteen miles from JOr-
dan. The reason for his arrest turns out
that st. Paul girl named Mary O'Don-
nell charges him with the parentage of
child to which she gave birth last
July. She put the case in the hands of
Dan Lawler, and gives the defendant
choice of being either criminally prose-
cuted for bastardy, or sued in civil ac-
ton for breach of promise, or marrying
her. Mr.. Hickey is expected to be back
this morning or tomorrow.
THE FAMOUS MONKEY-WRENCH.
MIR. knittle, who got mixed up in the
famous monkey-wrench case in Mime
apOliS some time ago, through the dam
aging evidence of the forger, Franklin,
was in st. Paul yesterday, with his de
Tending attorney, E. A. Campbell. He
inserted a notice in the papers asking
whoever the person was who bought the
monkey-wrench at the st. Paul Hard
ware company's store, on East Seventh
street. just previous to the breaking
open Ofthe Minneapolis lookup, to dis
close his or her identity. 1t is not to be
chaser that he or she will be in any way
implicated with the crime, but the
prosecution is endeayoring to prOvethat
one Mrs. Hugh Garrity purchased a
mOnkey-wrench and. at the same time,
tin dipper at the st. Paul Hardware
cOmpany'S store day or so be-
fore Franklin got out of the
10 ck-up to run into Detective
Quinlan's embrace. The prosecution
is endeayoring to show that Knittle
gave the monkey wrenchito Franklin by
Franklin's testimony, and that Mrs.
Garrity gave the monkey wrench to
Knittle, who was at the time defending
her husband on charge in the st. Paul
municipal court. The proprietor and
clerk at the hardware store say that
Mrs. Garrity had a buggy at the time
she bought the emOnkey-wrench,an and was
accompanied by middle-aged lady, and
that when she bought the wrench she
said first that it was too small and being
assured it wasn't, told the salesman not
to trouble himself about wrapping it up,
and took it out and tried it upon nut
upon the buggy, and told the middle
aged lady that was with her, that lit
would do" And it is upon this testi-
mOny that the prosecution is trying to
convict Mr.. Knittie. so the defense sup
posing that the proprietor and clerk at
the hardware store are mistaken in their
Identification of Mrs. Hugh Garrity, but
that some lady did buy wrench at the
store about the time and for legitimate
purpose, is anxious to have the person
come forward and relieve Mrs. Garritv
of all suspicion.
